Directions!

Communications
Director
A
professional publication like CV
Directions becomes immensely more
valuable when its member-subscribers
take ownership of its content. Each
study, presentation, essay or piece of
news submitted by members of the
Alliance of Cardiovascular Professionals
connects other members to new
initiatives and new ideas, creating value
and personal connections across the
association.
The ACVP dedicates itself to
supporting the professionalism and
excellence of its members through
continuing education, but simply
reading or listening is not enough.
Taking an active role in research, or
simply writing up and sharing your
ideas and experiences, will further your
professional education and boost your
resumé.
If you are implementing a new initiative
or researching new techniques in clinical
or management practices, take the
extra time to write up and publicize
your good work.
For news, please submit press releases
between 200-400 words. If interested
in publishing essays or research, please
submit articles of 600-1000 wo ɑ̸)
